Just bought into my first paid game

[KPC16]

Just bought into an 800 guaranteed game for $1.15 and I am nervous because this is my first paid game ever! Please wish me luck and words of advice would be nice. Thanks!

Good luck! I hope you had a great tournament!
Think this as an investment in your business and not as gambling money, sometimes you need to invest to get good returns.

If you just start playing poker, you shouldn't bluff too much, I saw many new players like to bluff without understanding when they can bluff and when they can not. So just play a solid game. And my final advice is that don't care about $1.15 you bought in. Poker is still a gambling game. Sometimes, you have to gamble when you have a little advantage. So take confidence and enjoy the game. It is great if you win some money but if you lose then try next time. All the best.

I took 21st place and won 7 bucks! So I got my money back and placed in a good position

Well I played another tournament today I didn't do as well position-wise but I did make my buy-ins back. I finished 51st and won 16 bucks. It was a 2,500 guaranteed 3.75 buy-in. The first loss was unavoidable 3 of a kind vs a straight. The second loss was intentional because I had to go to sleep. I was okay with it because already made my money back and some.
